  • E Class 1996
    E class 1996 The United States Coast Guard commissioned a new Keeper class of coastal buoy tenders in the s that are feet 53 m in length and named after lighthouse keepers. Keeper-class cutters serve the Coast Guard in a variety of missions and are tasked with maintaining aids to navigation ATON , search and rescue SAR , law enforcement LE , migrant interdiction, marine safety inspections, environmental protection and natural resources management. Keeper-class cutters are also used for light ice breaking operations. These vessels are ' long and replaced the World War II era ', ' and ' tenders. The new class of buoy tender cut crew size from 50, 35 and 26, respectively, to 25, saving the already cash-strapped Coast Guard financial and personnel resources. Keeper-class cutters are equipped with mechanical Z-drive azimuth thruster propulsion units instead of the standard propeller and rudder configuration. These mechanical drives are designed to independently rotate degrees. Combined with a thruster in the bow, they enable Keeper-class tenders to dynamically maneuver in a variety of sea states. This allows the cutter to precisely place an aid to navigation ATON. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Baker, A. Saunders, Stephen. Jane's Fighting Ships — Keeper-class cutters.
